“Mitt on RKO right now. Heading to Park Plaza. Boo:”

lol, it does make me wonder if Mitt is thinking about running for something in the future, wasn't he suppose to help get some people interested in running against all the unopposed incumbents when he was governor...seems like it's going much better without his help...

The last two callers on RKO were very positive.

Former union official, registered dem., from Hanson, voted for Scott

Dave from Plymouth saying about 200 people at 7:00 this morning, he was surprised about all the people that he didn't know that “think like him”

Brown up on Intrade with 85% chance of winning. Coakley in the teens!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/Coakley_adviser_memo_DC_Dems_faled_Coakley.html

Coakley adviser memo: D.C. Dems ‘failed’ Coakley

The Coakley campaign is bridling at finger-pointing from the White House and Washington Democrats, and outside adviser to the campaign has provided to POLITICO a memo aimed at rebutting the charge that Coakley failed, and making the case that national Democrats failed her.

The adviser, who made the case to my colleague Jonathan Martin on the condition of anonymity in response, he said, to “the current leaking coming out of the White House and the DNC that is chalking all of this up to a “bad candidate”.

The adviser, who cited internal polling numbers to make the case, emails that, “There’s more to the story than that. If Martha is guilty of taking the race for granted, so is the White House, and the DNC.”

(snip)

The Coakley adviser’s memo:

National Dems Failed to Aid Coakley Until Too Late

— Coakley campaign provided national Democrats with all poll results since early December

— Coakley campaign noted concerns about “apathy” and failure of national Democrats to contribute early in December. Coakley campaign noted fundraising concerns throughout December and requested national Democratic help.

— DNC and other Dem organizations did not engage until the week before the election, much too late to aid Coakley operation

Brown Capitalized on Concerns About National Democrats

— From the beginning, Brown labeled President Obama’s health care and cap and trade plans as tax increases. Polling throughout the race showed this to be the most effective attack on Coakley.

— Coakley’s lead dropped significantly after the Senate passed health care reform shortly before Christmas and after the Christmas Eve “bombing” incident. Polling showed significant concerns with the actions of Senator Nelson to hold out for a better deal. Senator Nelson’s actions specifically hurt Coakley who was forced to backtrack on her opposition to the abortion restriction amendment.

— Democrats concerns with Obama’s Afghanastain plan forced Coakley to oppose the Afghan war in the primary, which hurt her in the general.

Claims about Coakley’s Scant Campaigning and Miscues Were exaggerated

— Because of the failure of national Democrats to support Coakley, she was forced to devote significant time to fundraising in December. She also released a variety of plans in December and had a public event nearly every day.

— Coakley’s failure to release television advertisments until 12 days before the election was the result of a fundraising problem that national Democrats failed to resolve. Meanwhile, right wing groups pumped significant amounts of money into Brown’s campaign allowing him to go up with ads first, including negative attack ads funded by the Swift Boat and Willie Horton groups.

Caller to RKO says in Malden (Fuller School?) poll workers asking who she voted for at the cross check of her address.
She was irate and people behind her were irate as well...

Investors know a sure bet when they see one. They'll dump the rest of the Coakley stocks before the polls close tonight. :)

Yikes, he will cheat and “call the winner” of the election or maybe meaning he will “call the winner” using a phone.
Maybe both? LOL

Rush just saying Scott Rasmussen is now going to pay for his own Exit Poll tonight.

~~~

That’s downright disturbing, since he
waffled so badly and so obviously on his
un-poll yesterday.
